How to reach the Hirzer
The Hirzer hiking area is mainly located on the municipal territory of Scena, but is easiest to reach from the Passeier Valley, where the valley station of the Hirzer cable car begins in the village of Saltusio.
The hiking area stretches from the middle station of the cable car at an altitude of 1450 metres to the almost 2600 metre high Ifinger summit. In between there are the well-known alpine huts of the Hirzer area, the comfortable alpine path and many smaller but no less interesting hiking trails.
The lifts and alpine pastures in the Hirzer area are open from Easter to All Saints’ Day. As mentioned at the beginning, the Hirzer cable car is the easiest way to reach the hiking area. Because it easily takes you up to 2000 metres above sea level and from here all hiking destinations are within reach. Alternatively, you can also reach the Hirzer from Scena with the Verdins-Oberkirn cable car, from where a somewhat old but romantic chair lift takes you up to 1800 metres to the Grube Inn.
